Playing, laughing, being loud, romping, doing nothing – and that in an exhibition house! From September 4, 2024, BAUBAU invites exactly that. In the play space for children designed by artist Kerstin Brätsch, more is allowed than forbidden. Colorful wallpapers, structures, objects, and a range of “Loose Parts” form spaces on the ground floor of the Gropius Bau that do not impose fixed guidelines but are determined by the activities of the children. They dictate the direction and form of what happens here. Thus, this place becomes a space of possibilities that can change day by day.

BAUBAU will launch in September 2024 in a prototype version and will continue to develop and grow over the coming years both inside and outside the Gropius Bau – in close exchange with the children and their wishes, as this is their place.

The Play
All children have the urge to play. This is how they learn to understand themselves and the world. Especially open, self-determined play is of great significance for emotional and social development. The educational concept for BAUBAU is therefore based on the principles of free play: Here, there is time, space, and permission for children to follow their own needs and interests. They are accompanied by playworkers – trained staff who create a safe and supportive environment where children can play freely.

 
The Art
BAUBAU playfully questions what a museum or an art institution should be. The comprehensive spatial design developed by Kerstin Brätsch is full of references and inspirations: elements from her previous works, such as marbling, paintings, or stucco marble work, reappear here in altered forms and materialities. The wallpapers, curtains, fabrics, seating furniture, and climbing structures are inhabited by dinosaurs, fantastical beings, termite mounds, and abstract elements. With their strange, funny, and perhaps a bit eerie shapes, they create an open framework for free play.

Kerstin Brätsch's practice is designed to allow and incorporate influences from outside. While she has previously collaborated with artists or artisans, she now does so in a completely different way with children: She invites the children to reshape and further develop the space according to their own ideas and visions, without the influence of the artist in unpredictable ways.

OPEN AIR:
LETTERS FROM THE ATTIC
...a journey to love in old times

It all began with an inconspicuous wooden box found many years ago in the attic of "Wittlerins Wohnzimmer". During the Corona pandemic, the box miraculously returned to House Jabel No. 20 and revealed its secrets to the current owner, Tine Wittler: in the form of old letters from the year 1919, written by Anna to Heinrich, which tell (not only) of the beginning of a love story with obstacles. A touching and amusing journey to love in old times, inspired by reality. Presented by Tine Wittler & KULTURBAR WENDLAND e.V. right where it all began...OPEN AIR in the garden of "Wittlerins Wohnzimmer".

"As always, there will be drinks and snacks at the participation counter."

Admission: 1 hour before the start of the event

“An attack on the laughing muscles”
They were once in love, romantic and passionate. And now? An aging couple stands before the shards of their marriage. And the decision about how it should go on in the future has basically already been made. Letters that the spouses have written to each other over decades allow them to look back on their entire married life once more. Funny, humorous, with a large pinch of cynicism, they are reminded of how it used to be between the two of them. And in the end, the supposedly marital back pain turns out to be nothing more than a hearty kick in the butt.

A comedy as a staged reading with two performers who couldn't be better suited for each other! LOU HOFFNER and GEDEON BURKHARD impress with a lot of wit and depth.

Doors open: 7:30 PM

The permanent exhibition on the life and work of Erich Maria Remarque offers a detailed look into the life, work, and thoughts of the famous writer through numerous photographs, documents, and manuscripts. The exhibition is bilingual, presented in German and English throughout.

Divided into seven sections covering his youth in Osnabrück (1898–1921), the years in Hanover and Berlin (1922–1928), the discussion around All Quiet on the Western Front (1928–1930), his exile in Europe (1931–1939) and the USA (1939–1948), his political works in the 1950s, and the 1960s leading up to his death on September 25, 1970 in Locarno, the exhibition attempts to highlight the ruptures, contradictions, and controversies in Remarque's life while emphasizing their productivity for his work. It illustrates Remarque's numerous psychological conflicts, aiming to resolve the apparent contradiction between the "bon vivant" and the "militant pacifist," and provides insight into his acquaintances, friendships, and marriages. Numerous originals such as the death mask or Remarque's original desk complement the presentation.

Another focus of the exhibition is the worldwide, often highly controversial reception of Remarque's works, which have been translated into at least 60 languages and continue to attract a global audience of millions.

An information terminal allows visitors to delve deeper into specific questions about Remarque's life and work. Another terminal provides access to over 2,000 photographs spanning all stages of Remarque's life, his residences, contacts, and the film adaptations of his works.

The exhibition is open for free visits on Tuesdays to Fridays from 10 am to 1 pm and from 3 pm to 5 pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 am to 5 pm. Guided tours for school classes and other interest groups can also be arranged outside regular opening hours. Tours can be scheduled with Mr. Martin Siemsen (siemsen.m@osnabrueck.de) by phone at 0541/323-2109 or fax at 0541/323-4355.

A shop on-site offers materials related to Remarque's life and work for sale.

The castle with a lot to offer: "HerrschaftsZeiten! Erlebnis Cadolzburg" from June 24, 2017 at the Cadolzburg - the new highlight of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region

A powerful castle - the setting of the illustrious history of a ruling family that has achieved great success: this was and is the Cadolzburg. The rulers were the Hohenzollern family, who ruled over Franken and later Brandenburg, also gaining electoral dignity in the 15th century. Later on, they even became Prussian kings and German emperors.

The Cadolzburg derives its radiance not only from its role as the starting point of a significant career in the Holy Roman Empire - the impressive structure itself reflects this golden era of the Hohenzollerns. The new museum "HerrschaftsZeiten! Erlebnis Cadolzburg" of the Bavarian Administration of State Castles will make this time - the late Middle Ages - exciting and informative for visitors through innovative communication concepts. While walking through the castle, visitors can learn not only about the architectural history, wars and peace, daily life, and governing tasks of the princely castle residents. There is much to discover here through interactive and sensory means:

Visitors can experience the castle through their sense of smell, there are tactile stations, sounds and dialogues, vivid models, and invitations to try things out. Exciting or challenging games, medieval Hohenzollerns in their own words, and the jester Contz who guides visitors through the castle bring the Middle Ages to life. Visitors can also expect to see several original medieval artifacts such as swords, maces, or a magnificent treasure chest. Other objects were specially crafted for the museum based on extensive research in historical techniques, such as the gilded armor of the famous General Albrecht Achilles, or textiles dyed according to original recipes. The Bavarian Administration of State Castles also made significant contributions to experimental historical research, like creating a breastplate from boiled leather, in line with the ambition of creating one of Germany's most important castle museums.

The cultural communication of the Bavarian Administration of State Castles also offers a diverse program of accompanying events, making this exciting history even more intriguing - for the young nobleman as well as the castle enthusiast.

Not only the Middle Ages but also the Cadolzburg itself now comes back to life. After the extensive damage of World War II, original medieval rooms and successful architectural creations of the 21st century can now be experienced. The modern buildings completed in 2017 bridge the medieval era with our present time.

You can expect very special experiences here - it truly is THE CASTLE WITH A LOT TO OFFER.

Hans Gerzlich is appalled when he suddenly realizes that he was born in the same year as... old people. During the commercial breaks of his favorite show, no seductive aftershaves and speedy sports cars are offered anymore, but Granufink, Voltaren, and heating pads.

Outside 50, inside 20, he asks himself, "When does life finally begin?" - but then the "Personal Pension Information" lands on his doorstep again. The newly minted Best Ager has calculated: If he retires at 67, he can live quite comfortably off it - for eleven days. That's why he hopes for an increase in the bottle deposit.

But he also thinks about repressing his own passing. About missed opportunities, but also increasing serenity, how a new ethic of aging should look, which plays a role in economic efficiency but does not take center stage - and which language he should best learn to communicate with his caregiver later.

In this cabaret program, you will laugh yourself silly if you are 50, were once 50 - or plan to be 50 someday. But beware: afterwards, you will already be two hours older and have several more laugh lines.

Admission: 19:30 I No entry will be permitted after the start of the event!

With the expansion of the Berlin city highway BAB 100, future subway constructions were already established at important intersections. At Innsbrucker Platz, the planners placed the highway in a short tunnel segment underground to cross one of the important railway lines. A future subway station of impressive length and, for Berlin standards, great depth was created beneath the highway tunnel. Additionally, this tour includes entry into a subway tunnel dating back to the 1910s - a forgotten tunnel beneath a residential area.
This guided tour takes about 2 - 2.5 hours. You can book tickets online for the tour in the subway station Innsbrucker Platz located beneath the highway & through the old Eisacktunnel.

So far, many people did not know where Florian Schroeder stands. Now he himself does not know anymore. But one thing he knows: He is happy with it. And he wants you to be happy too. Because being happy is the greatest, yes, perhaps the last provocation that remains in a time when everyone is outdoing each other in complaining, grumbling, shouting, raging, and bickering.

When the crazies spread fear and terror, when the apocalypse comes three times a day, then we need someone like him who simply brings courage. Finally happy – that is Schroeder's mantra. Of course the world is out of joint – but his is not. And yours doesn’t have to be either.

With Schroeder, everything is running smoothly: everything is fine, everything is safe, everything is doubly and triply secured. The savings contract, the life insurance, the girlfriend. Whoever is so lucky wants to share it too – but not with everyone and not with just anyone – so definitely not on social media. But with friends – because friends tell each other everything. With them, you can laugh and cry, celebrate and mourn. They hug you and tell you the truth – even if it hurts. Florian Schroeder wants to be your friend.

Only together are we strong, only together can we defeat the evil out there. Florian Schroeder wants to show you how you can be happy – and not in two weeks, two months, or two years, but in two hours. Why wait any longer? The moment is now.
But how long can this go on? Isn't happiness finite too? And what comes after? Schroeder will answer that for you.

FINALLY HAPPY – a show for everyone and anyone.

Doors open: 7:00 PM
